Before Sri Chandrasekar became managing partner at Point72 Ventures, he was a Senior Vice President at In-Q-Tel, the non-profit VC firm that invests in startups on behalf of the CIA and other national intelligence agencies. That work cultivated his interest in AI and ML a decade ago, which led hedge fund Point72 to recruit him to join its then-new venture arm in 2017. Fast-forward to 2024, Sri takes around 300 first-call meetings with founders each year. While we had an extended discussion about his investment thesis and the types of opportunities he's targeting, he also offered key insights into the current early-stage fundraising environment and spoke about the growing difficulty for startups seeking Series A funding, compared to the relative ease of raising seed rounds. AI-related startups need more capital than ever to launch a MVP, leading to larger seed rounds without increasing dilution for founders. However, this drives up valuations, and when startups reach the Series A stage, investors hesitate to pay high prices for companies with limited traction. “I think a lot of seed-stage founders are going to see this in the next year or two,” he said. “They're going to raise a Series A and they're going to be not up rounds, they'll be flat rounds.” 42:21 minutes Episode breakdown (1:45) “In-Q-Tel is the best place in the world to learn about venture.” (3:53) “Machine learning and AI is gonna be the most transformative force to our economy since the steam engine.” (8:55) “I think we're six to twelve months away from the trough of disillusionment.” (11:52) “It's easier than ever to build a prototype of anything… and the hardest that's ever been, in my opinion, to raise a Series A.” (15:27) The differences between working with technical and non-technical founders (19:23) “I'm starting to think that Herman Miller Aeron chairs probably hold their value longer than GPUs.” (21:16) “Returns are getting compressed, and something's got to give, right?” (24:21) What real repeatability actually looks like. (27:33) “It's really important to not get ahead of yourself in terms of marketing and branding until you have clarity around, ‘do I have product-market-fit?'” (31:26) Sri breaks down the “triple-triple-double-double-double” growth framework. (34:39) Advice for founders who need help de-risking themselves. (37:43) “I don't know what the point of being in stealth is.” (40:47) What would Sri ask an early-stage CEO if he were interviewing for a job?

Welcome back, everyone. This is Brian from quantlabs.net. In today's podcast, we're diving deep into the world of hedge fund internships, particularly the ones offered by Steve Cohen's Hedge Fund, Point72. These aren't your average internships. According to an article from efinancialcareers.com, the Quibus Systematic Strategies team at Point72 is paying Quant interns a whopping $25,000 per month.   Join our Discord for quant trading and programming news https://discord.gg/k29hRUXdk2   Get our free trading tech books here books2 – QUANTLABS.NET This might sound out of the ordinary, but from my experience working with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPBIB), I can confirm that top-tier organizations are willing to pay top dollar for talented interns. CPBIB, regarded as a prestigious firm in Canada, was known to pay University of Waterloo interns quite generously.   High-Paying Opportunities In Trading - QUANTLABS.NET But coming back to Point72, it's not just about the money. Their internships are also tremendous opportunities for career advancement and learning cutting-edge technologies. The K-E-P-L team specializing in trading medium-frequency statistical arbitrage strategies is particularly interesting, promising lucrative careers meriting competitive pay. In 2020, their Quantitative Research Internship exclusively for PhD candidates offered a base salary between $250,000 and $300,000. This is just the base pay, not including bonuses which can catapult some interns into the million-dollar earning bracket. The bar had been set high last year when a quant teacher was offered a $300,000 case. If you're vying for a top spot in these hedge fund internships, understanding Python, C, or C++, among other languages, is essential. These opportunities aren't just limited to PhD candidates. Undergrad student positions are also available, promising a minimum salary of $240,000. Interested in such quant internships or want to share your thoughts?

In der Nachmittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Michael Putz, CEO und Co-Founder von Blackshark.ai, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Erweiterung der Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 15 Millionen US-Dollar.Blackshark.ai ist ein KI-Unternehmen für Geoinformationsdienste, das Petabytes an Satellitenbildern in wenigen Stunden verarbeitet und Objekte, Straßen, Vegetation und andere Infrastrukturen auf der Oberfläche des Planeten erkennt sowie segmentiert. Diese semantischen Informationen werden verwendet, um eine umfassende digitale 3D-Darstellung der Welt zu erstellen. So hat das Startup beispielsweise einen digitalen 3D-Zwilling der Erde für Microsofts Flugsimulator erstellt. Blackshark.ai bedient neben den kommerziellen Unternehmen auch staatliche Kunden mit dynamischen 3D-Kartierungen, die mit hoher Frequenz und geospatialer Intelligenz erstellt werden und die Kunden somit in die Lage versetzt, mit wertvollen Einblicken fundierte sowie strategische Entscheidungen zu treffen. Insgesamt kann ein breites Spektrum globaler Herausforderungen mit den Lösungen des Startups bewältigt werden. Darunter zählen Sicherheit, Umweltschutz, Stadtplanung, Überwachung kritischer Infrastrukturen, Katastrophenschutz und humanitäre Hilfe. Herkömmliche 3D-Kartierungen basieren auf Photogrammetrie, die langsamer und kostspieliger ist, da sie u.a. eine große Menge an Bildmaterial erfordert. Das Startup hat zudem eine Plattform entwickelt, die riesige Mengen an Rohdaten aus Satelliten- und Luftbildern nahtlos in semantisch beschriftete, raumbezogene digitale Zwillinge umwandelt. Diese Software ermöglicht nicht nur eine schnelle und genaue Objekterkennung und -klassifizierung im großen Maßstab, ohne dass umfangreiche, kostspielige und zeitaufwändige Trainingsdaten benötigt werden, sondern auch eine umfassende Analyse von Landnutzung und Landbedeckung. Blackshark.ai wurde im Jahr 2020 von Brad Young, Michael Putz und Thomas Richter in Graz gegründet.Nun hat das österreichische Startup in einer Erweiterung der Series A weitere 15 Millionen US-Dollar eingesammelt, wodurch die Gesamtinvestition in der Series-A-Runde auf 35 Millionen US-Dollar steigt. Zu den bestehenden Investoren Point72 Ventures, M12 Microsoft's Venture Fund und Maxar gesellen sich In-Q-Tel, Safran, der von ISAI verwaltete VC-Fonds von Capgemini namens ISAI Cap Venture, Einstein Industries Ventures, Interwoven Ventures, Ourcrowd, Gaingels und OpAmp Capital. Mit dem frischen Kapital möchte Blackshark.ai seine 3D-Hochfrequenzkartierung und Geospatial Intelligence-Fähigkeiten erweitern und es zudem für strategische Technologieentwicklungen und zur Verstärkung der Vertriebs- und Marketingaktivitäten einsetzen.

Today, I'm excited to talk with impact investor and investment industry veteran H. Perry Boyle. Perry's had a long and storied career in the financial world, but the first thing I wanted to know about was his hiring of Prometheus Founder and CEO Michael Wang as a Senior Analyst at the legendary hedge fund SAC Capital. Between 2004 and 2020, Perry held several positions at SAC and Point72. As SAC's Director of Research, Perry's job was to change the culture, which he did—in part—by creating a curriculum for analysts and making portfolio managers stakeholders in their future success. Steve Cohen's SAC Capital is the inspiration for the Showtime series “Billions." So I asked Perry to describe the evolution of the firm's culture and the impact of having a psychologist on staff to optimize traders' performance. A little later, Perry tells me the "secret” of running a long/short portfolio and lays out his thoughts on the increasing scarcity of alpha. Lastly, Perry talks about the journey that took him from Point72 to climbing his “second mountain” —becoming chairman of the BOMA Project, a poverty graduation program for women, youth, and displaced persons in East Africa.Links MentionedThe BOMA ProjectH.

On this episode of The Scoop, Adam Carson, Operating Partner & Crypto Investment Lead at Point72 Ventures, joined host Frank Chaparro for the company's first public interview to discuss its investment strategy as well as Carson's perspectives on the convergence of fintech, Web3 and the metaverse. Point72 Ventures, an offshoot of billionaire investor Steven Cohen's Point72 Asset Management Group, was launched in 2016 to initially focus on fintech investing but is increasingly ramping up its focus on the crypto space. In the interview, Carson said that the firm could invest in 5-10 crypto firms next year and might even make some token investments. "I hope that we will sort of evolve into doing more token investing," Carson said. On-ramp investments For now, the firm is looking to invest in infrastructure "picks and shovels" companies that will help onboard incumbent institutions who can then in turn create on-ramps for future consumers to enter the crypto space, according to Carson. To date, Point72 Ventures has only publicly announced four crypto company investments: Messari, Zero Hash, 24 Exchange, and Massive. However, Carson announced on The Scoop that Point72 Ventures is soon to publicize its investment into a fifth company, which he mentioned was an established DeFi operation. When tokens? It's not clear exactly when Point72 will begin making token venture bets, but Carson said that the firm will have to rethink its existing investing approach to make such a move. "It's a different world and it's totally new and it's also exciting," he said, noting that such deals can close in a matter of days versus months, which is more typical in equity deals. "There's different operational and technology needs," he said. "You need to be able to custody these coins. You need to be able to move these coins."

In this episode of “The Breakdown,” NLW discusses a fresh wave of investors and their potential disruptions to markets, including: Two new major hedge funds, Point72 and Soros Fund Inevitable short-term investors as part of market maturation Troublesome possibility of regulation forming around institutional trading habits In early 2020, institutional investors flowed into the crypto space nonstop, including hedge funds, corporate treasuries and insurance companies.

The Interview, recorded on February 1, 2021 .In this interview with Jason Buck of The Mutiny Fund, famed short-seller Marc Cohodes of Alder Lane Farm pulls no punches as he diagnoses the true culprits behind the exponential volatility in stocks such as GameStop: extreme leverage and the hedge funds who use it in order to juice returns. Cohodes argues that hedge funds like Point72 and Melvin Capital are creating significant systemic risk for all market participants, most notably themselves, and he congratulates the retail trades on r/WallStreetBets but warns them that, generally, buying a stock merely because it has high short interest is a very bad idea. He closes by sharing with Buck his personal journey during the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. Key learnings: The stock market is not a game – it is a serious thing for serious people. The reckless use of leverage ought to be constrained by regulators, and all investors, institutional as well as retail, should be prepared to lose if they are wrong. Learn more about your ad choices.

Esse foi o assunto da semana: a lenda de Robin Hood, que tirava dos ricos para dar aos pobres, a vingança dos pequenos investidores no varejo – as “sardinhas” – que fizeram com que um grande lobo de Wall Street, o fundo de investimento Melvin, perdesse muito dinheiro e precisasse ser resgatado por outros grandes fundos de investimento (Citadel e Point72). Mas afinal o que é short squeeze? Como funciona a dinâmica de uma posição vendida (short)? Posição vendida (short): Uma posição vendida é quando um investidor ou um fundo aposta na queda das ações de uma empresa devido à deterioração nos seus fundamentos ou devido ao seu alto preço/valuation. Para fazer uma posição vendida, o investidor “vende” as ações da empresa hoje, ao tomar emprestadas as ações, pagando uma taxa de aluguel, e esperando comprar as ações no futuro por um valor mais baixo e dessa forma encerrar a posição vendida. Como o investidor espera queda nas cotações, no futuro, essa diferença entre o preço atual e o preço mais baixo no futuro é o ganho na operação. Na posição comprada a possível perda do investidor fica limitada a 100por cento por cento do capital investido. No, entanto, na posição vendida pode-se perder mais do que o capital investido, pois existe a chamada de margem da posição vendida em aberto. Efeito virtuoso/vicioso: Uma característica interessante das operações vendidas é a seguinte: para que uma posição vendida (short) seja encerrada, o investidor precisa comprar as ações. Se a posição é muito grande, causa uma alta no preço das ações, o que pressiona ainda mais a posição dos vendidos que permanecem na posição. Dessa forma, a alta das ações provocada pela zeragem das posições vendidas (compra das ações) provoca uma alta adicional nas ações que aumenta ainda mais as chamadas de margem e as perdas dos investidores que têm posição vendida naquelas ações. Essa característica explica o alto volume negociado e as grandes variações no preço das ações num “short squeeze”. Short squeeze: A forte alta nas ações de uma posição vendida é um pesadelo para o fundo que tem essa posição short. Com a alta da ação ele precisa depositar mais margem (colocar dinheiro), o que aumenta a sua perda na operação. Para encerrar a posição e limitar as perdas, o fundo precisa comprar as ações, o que faz com que as ações subam ainda mais, o chamado “short squeeze” ou aperto na posição vendida. Assim quem provoca a alta no preço das ações coloca uma pressão (squeeze) nos investidores que tem posição vendida. O que aconteceu com as ações da GameStop: A GameStop é uma empresa de varejo com lojas físicas que vende videogames nos EUA. A posição total vendida em ações da GameStop chegou a 150por cento das ações em circulação no mercado nos EUA, algo somente possível com a existência de derivativos (opções). O fundo de investimento Melvin, com 10 bilhões de dólares sob gestão em dezembro do ano passado, tinha uma grande posição vendida em ações da GameStop, uma informação pública da carteira do fundo. Pequenos investidores pessoas físicas atuaram em conjunto por meio de redes sociais através do fórum Wallstreetbets, do Reddit, com quase 5 milhões de inscritos, para incentivar a compra da das ações da GameStop, o que ocasionou forte alta no preço das ações e colocou os gestores de fundos de hedge contra a parede. Nesse caso investidores individuais fizeram muito dinheiro enquanto o grande fundo Melvin (rico) perdeu tantos recursos que precisou ser resgatado por outros fundos de investimento (Citadel e Point72) que colocaram 2,75 bilhões de dólares na Melvin

Social media has been abuzz about Redditors on a forum called “WallStreetBets”, banding together and buying up stock in a gaming merchandise retailer called GameStop. They are orchestrating a “short squeeze” against hedge funds that had taken a short position on the stock.

Looks like the generous gift of $2.75 Billion from Gary Cohen and Ken Griffin to Point72 was a temp gift to bail them out when they got short squeezed. Today Robinhood and many other brokerages froze any buying and allowed the hedge funds to open short positions Fu*king the investors who were buying long. Nice play Wall Street crooks! Here's how Citidel, Point72 and the other insiders murdered the Robinhood masses.  This won't likely end well.

Melvin Capital has exited its bet against GameStop, having lost billions of dollars after a battle with amateur traders who pushed up the share price of the game retailer and other companies it had bet against. The hedge fund’s exit from the heavily traded stock, after it sustained significant losses, marks a triumph for retail traders co-ordinating on Reddit message boards. The New York firm, founded by Gabe Plotkin, a protégé of Point72 founder Steve Cohen, was forced earlier this week to seek a $2.75bn cash injection from its larger rivals Citadel and Point72, after it had lost about $3.75bn, or 30 per cent, in the first three weeks of the year, according to two people familiar with the matter. Shares of GameStop have rallied 685 per cent this year to $147.98, as of Tuesday’s closing level, with stock and options trading volumes skyrocketing over the past week as retail traders have piled in. The stock was quoted as high as $365.42 in pre-market trading on Wednesday. Users on the popular Reddit message board r/wallstreetbets have bought shares of the retailer as well as large numbers of call options, which pay out if GameStop shares rise. The r/wallstreetbets page in recent days has been filled with screenshots of investment accounts posting multimillion dollar gains, with users egging each other on to continue buying up the stock. One trader used his winnings to pay off his student debt… Michael Avery spoke to Wayne McCurrie, portfolio manager, FNB Wealth and Investments & Martin Harris, premium client manager at IG SA about the Robinhood traders who have slayed one goliath, the question is who is next?

Join my conversation with crisis management and earned media guru, Mark Herr. For the last 20 years, Mark Herr has led or helped lead the communications efforts of three iconic financial services companies, Merrill Lynch, AIG, and SAC Capital/Point72 Asset Management. He shaped their responses to some of the highest-profile crises in the financial world, helped rebuild their reputations, and built the brands of several other properties. At Merrill Lynch, Mark created and executed the communications strategies as the company dealt with the turn of the century Tech-Wreck, Enron, and Auction Rate Securities litigations, as well as the other legal, regulatory, and public policy problems the company faced. Joining AIG in the heart of the 2008 financial crisis, Mark led AIG's Media Relations team as the company navigated being the poster child for the crisis. Working closely with CEO Bob Benmosche and other C Suite management, Mark devised the responses to the company's fall from grace and was a key architect of its reputational comeback. Hired by Steve Cohen and SAC Capital to create and build the firm's global communications function, Mark served as Managing Director and Head of Global Communications. He used his expertise in crisis communications and media relations to design the strategy that took SAC from being viewed by many as a pariah to a firm that enjoys 60 percent approval. He rebranded SAC as Point72 and built the brands for Mr. Cohen's VC firm, Point72 Ventures, his industry-unique analyst training vehicle, Point72 Academy, and his philanthropic veterans mental health treatment program, Cohen Veterans Network. Mark also created Point72's internal communications program and launched its digital and social media properties and strategy, while establishing its talent recruitment messages. A former reporter, political operative, litigator, regulator, and government official, Mark brings a unique 360-degree understanding to what it means to be in the blinding spotlight of public opinion and how to turn around the narrative from bad (or worse) to better. As a builder of brands, he also knows how to establish the right public presence for new firms. Mark has now founded his own communications boutique and among his projects, Mark is consulting with Mr. Cohen on Mr. Cohen's purchase of the New York Mets and advises other companies in the pharmaceutical and financial services industries. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/paulwoodshow/message

Ishan Sinha, Point72 Ventures: Investing in Global Fintech Startups, Ep 101 Originally from New Delhi and Kathmandu, Ishan Sinha grew up on the move. Due to his Dad’s job, he lived in six countries in three different continents until finally settling down in Connecticut. Today, as Vice President of Point72 Ventures, he still spends a lot of time on planes, however his usual travel plans are currently on hold in light of COVID-19. In normal circumstances, he travels several times throughout the year to explore markets in the Middle East, Northern Africa, South East Asia, and Latin America.    Point72 Ventures is the independent, early-stage investment arm of Steve Cohen’s $16B hedge fund Point72 Asset Management.  The fund –always seeking to be at the forefront of new technology– naturally contacted a lot of startups, which eventually turned into investable businesses. Their first investment in Latin America was in Pierpaolo Barbieri’s fintech Ualá. Ishan, with his international background, immediately jumped at the opportunity to lead the fund’s new global endeavors.   In this episode, I sit down with Ishan to talk about his nomadic upbringing, Point72’s core thesis and decision to explore outside of the US, and his insights on the differences between traditional investing and venture capital. We also discuss how Latin America compares to South East Asia, and Ishan gives advice on how to approach the Latin American market. A cultural education at a young age Ishan reflects on the valuable lessons he learned from growing up all over. He explains that being a foreigner in a lot of places taught him how to quickly connect with people, a skill that comes in handy at Point72 when he travels abroad to meet entrepreneurs from different countries.     Learn more about how the nomadic lifestyle helps Ishan dive into different markets in this episode of Crossing Borders. Traditional investing versus venture capital Accustomed to a more quantitative approach to analysing businesses in public markets, the qualitative side of venture capital presented Ishan with a new and unexpected challenge. Making a decision based on abstract concepts or products and markets that do not exist yet contrasted with the heavy reliance on data that Ishan was used to.    Listen to this episode of Crossing Borders to find out how Ishan uses his past experience in public markets to complement his work in venture capital. Drawing parallels between Latin America and South East Asia Ishan discusses the similarities he’s seen in markets across the world, particularly between Latin America and South East Asia. In 2019, he started spending more time in the Philippines as he closed his first investment in the country and noticed that the businesses in the region were not that different to Latin America’s. Both regions seem to be using technology as a leapfrog to solve similar pain points.    Learn more about the parallel markets popping up all over the world in this episode of Crossing Borders.   Ishan Sinha is following his mandate to invest globally. As Point72 expands throughout the region, Ishan’s experience in public and private markets as well as his unique upbringing will be key to tackling Latin America’s diversity.   Show Notes [1:21] - On staying home [2:44] - About Point72 Ventures [6:12] - Expanding outside of the US [8:10] - Lessons learned from a nomadic upbringing [11:19] - Becoming an investor in tech [14:14] - Traditional investing versus venture capital [18:40] - Point72’s core thesis in LatAm [21:55] - Starting the conversation with Point72 [23:07] - South East Asia versus Latin America [29:27] - What’s next for Point72 in LatAm?   Resources Mentioned: Point72 Ventures Ishan Sinha Domino Data Lab Sequioa Capital Pete Casella Tripp Schriner Ualá Ep 42 Pierpaolo Barbieri: How Ualá is Increasing Financial Inclusion in Argentina Mike Packer, QED Investors: The Trailblazing US VC Investing in Latin American Fintech, Ep 78 Belvo  Credijusto Contabilizei Sprout

After the Soviet Union broke apart, Roman Ginis and his family left Ukraine and came to America. He earned a Ph.D. in computer science from the California Institute of Technology, and then landed engineering jobs at Intel, IBM and BAE Systems. From there, he moved to Wall Street as a junior quant at UBS, developing execution technologies and quantitative analytics for electronic market-making for the investment bank. That led to a job at Cubist Systematic Strategies, the quant trading arm of Point72 Asset Management. After seven years at the hedge fund, he shipped off to create a startup called Imperative Execution, the parent of IntelligentCross, a dark pool that uses AI to improve match times on a security-by-security basis to reduce market impact. Imperative Execution is backed by a consortium of investors, including Point72. Ginis talks about his career, the challenges of creating a startup, and how the world of trade execution is evolving.

A goal of our podcast is to highlight people who don’t highlight themselves— but are every bit as deserving of the spotlight as those on the big stage. Noah fits this profile perfectly- he’s the smart guy you sat next to at an industry dinner whose perspective on network forensics and GDPR were as interesting as his weeklong isolated "vacation" on the tundra of Baffin Island. An understated yet up and coming security investor currently at Point72, Noah’s take on the security market is insightful and raw: he explains why there are too many security companies and why it matters. He details why the mid-market is underserved by security vendors. We cover how investors mistakenly overcapitalize security vendors and when is the right time to bootstrap vs. taking any funding at all.
